HEARTBREAKING reason Prince William could miss royal baby's birth

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to welcome their first child any day now. But it seems Prince William could very well miss out on one of the most important days of his brother's life.

The Duke of Cambridge is expected to arrive in New Zealand on April 25, to honour the victims of the Christchurch mosque terrorist attacks on behalf of the Queen.

As part of his two day visit, the future King will meet survivors and their families, members of the emergency services, and Muslim community leaders.

Fifty people were killed in the horrific terrorist attack on March 15.

A statement issued by Kensington Palace said: "During the visit, the duke will pay tribute to those affected by the Christchurch mosques terrorist attack, and will recognise the incredible empathy and unity displayed by the people of New Zealand in the weeks that followed."

At the time of the tragedy, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to express their deepest condolences.

"We have all been fortunate enough to spend time in Christchurch and have felt the warm, open-hearted and generous spirit that is core to its remarkable people," the heartfelt post read.
